Egzòd 3
1 Moyiz t'ap gade mouton ak kabrit Jetwo, bòpè li, ki te yon prèt nan peyi Madyan. Moyiz mennen bèt yo lòt bò dezè a. Li rive sou mòn Orèb, mòn Bondye a.
And Moses hath been feeding the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, priest of Midian, and he leadeth the flock behind the wilderness, and cometh in unto the mount of God, to Horeb;
2 Zanj Seyè a parèt devan l' sou fòm yon flanm dife nan mitan yon ti touf bwa. Moyiz gade, li wè touf bwa a te tou wouj ak dife, men li pa t'ap boule.
and there appeareth unto him a messenger of Jehovah in a flame of fire, out of the midst of the bush, and he seeth, and lo, the bush is burning with fire, and the bush is not consumed.
3 Lè sa a, Moyiz di nan kè l': -Kite m' pwoche pi pre pou m' wè bagay dwòl sa a. Kouman touf bwa a fè pa boule?
And Moses saith, 'Let me turn aside, I pray thee, and I see this great appearance; wherefore is the bush not burned?'
4 Lè Seyè a wè Moyiz t'ap pwoche pou l' gade, li rete nan mitan touf bwa a, li rele l', li di: -Moyiz! Moyiz! Moyiz reponn: -Men mwen wi.
and Jehovah seeth that he hath turned aside to see, and God calleth unto him out of the midst of the bush, and saith, 'Moses, Moses;' and he saith, 'Here [am] I.'
5 Bondye di: -Rete kote ou ye a. Pa pwoche. Wete sapat nan pye ou, paske kote ou kanpe a se yon tè ki apa pou mwen.
And He saith, 'Come not near hither: cast thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place on which thou art standing is holy ground.'
6 Bondye di ankò: -Se mwen menm, Bondye zansèt ou yo, Bondye Abraram lan, Bondye Izarak la ak Bondye Jakòb la. Moyiz bouche figi l', paske li te pè gade Bondye.
He saith also, 'I [am] the God of thy father, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob;' and Moses hideth his face, for he is afraid to look towards God.
7 Seyè a di: -Mwen wè tray pèp mwen an ap pase nan peyi Lejip. Mwen tande jan y'ap rele anba men moun k'ap peze yo. Wi, mwen konnen jan y'ap soufri.
And Jehovah saith, 'I have certainly seen the affliction of My people who [are] in Egypt, and their cry I have heard, because of its exactors, for I have known its pains;
8 Mwen desann pou m' vin delivre yo anba men moun peyi Lejip yo, pou m' fè yo soti nan peyi Lejip la, pou m' mennen yo nan yon gwo peyi ki gen bon tè, yon peyi kote lèt ak siwo myèl koule tankou dlo. Se la moun Kanaran yo rete ansanm ak moun Et yo, moun Amori yo, moun Ferezi yo, moun Evi yo ak moun Jebis yo.
and I go down to deliver it out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to cause it to go up out of the land, unto a land good and broad, unto a land flowing with milk and honey — unto the place of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
9 Bondye di ankò: -Koulye a menm, rèl pitit Izrayèl yo rive jouk nan zòrèy mwen. Mwen wè jan y'ap soufri anba moun peyi Lejip yo k'ap peze yo.
'And now, lo, the cry of the sons of Israel hath come in unto Me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians are oppressing them,
10 Koulye a, ale! Se mwen menm k'ap voye ou bò kote farawon an. Fè pèp mwen an soti nan peyi Lejip. Wi, fè pèp Izrayèl la soti kite peyi sa a.
and now, come, and I send thee unto Pharaoh, and bring thou out My people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt.'
11 Moyiz di Bondye: -Ki moun mwen ye menm pou m' ta penmèt mwen ale bò kot farawon an pou m' fè pèp Izrayèl la soti kite peyi Lejip?
And Moses saith unto God, 'Who [am] I, that I go unto Pharaoh, and that I bring out the sons of Israel from Egypt?'
12 Bondye di l': -M'ap kanpe la avè ou. Lèfini, pou fè konnen se mwen menm ki voye ou, men sa w'a fè: lè w'a fin fè pèp la soti kite peyi Lejip, n'a sèvi m' sou mòn sa a.
and He saith, 'Because I am with thee, and this [is] to thee the sign that I have sent thee: in thy bringing out the people from Egypt — ye do serve God on this mount.'
13 Moyiz di Bondye konsa: -Bon. Koulye a, mwen pral bò kote pèp Izrayèl la, mwen pral di yo: Bondye zansèt nou yo voye m' kote nou. Ou mèt sèten yo pral mande m': Ki jan li rele? Lè sa a, kisa pou m' reponn yo?
And Moses saith unto God, 'Lo, I am coming unto the sons of Israel, and have said to them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you, and they have said to me, What [is] His name? what do I say unto them?'
14 Bondye di Moyiz: -Sa m' ye a se sa m' ye. Apre sa li di ankò: -W'a pale ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo, w'a di yo konsa: Mwen menm ki rele sa m' ye a, se mwen menm ki voye ou bò kote yo.
And God saith unto Moses, 'I AM THAT WHICH I AM;' He saith also, 'Thus dost thou say to the sons of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.'
15 Bondye di Moyiz ankò: -Men sa pou di moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo, Bondye Abraram lan, Bondye Izarak la, Bondye Jakòb la, voye m' bò kote nou. Wi, se konsa mwen rele. Se konsa y'ap toujou rele m' sou latè de tit an tit.
And God saith again unto Moses, 'Thus dost thou say unto the sons of Israel, Jehovah, God of your fathers, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you; this [is] My name — to the age, and this My memorial, to generation — generation.
16 Ale non. Reyini tout chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl la, di yo: Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo, Bondye Abraram lan, Bondye Izarak la, Bondye Jakòb la, te parèt devan mwen. Li mande m' pou m' di nou pou li: Mwen vin vizite nou, mwen wè sa moun peyi Lejip yo ap fè nou pase.
'Go, and thou hast gathered the elders of Israel, and hast said unto them: Jehovah, God of your fathers, hath appeareth unto me, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I have certainly inspected you, and that which is done to you in Egypt;
17 Se poutèt sa mwen di: M'ap fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip kote y'ap maltrete nou an. M'ap mennen nou nan peyi moun Kanaran yo, moun Et yo, moun Amori yo, moun Ferezi yo, moun Evi ak moun Jebis yo. Se yon peyi kote lèt ak siwo myèl koule tankou dlo.
and I say, I bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt, unto the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, unto a land flowing [with] milk and honey.
18 Chèf fanmi yo va koute sa ou gen pou di yo. Apre sa, wava ale bò kote wa Lejip la ansanm ak chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo, n'a di wa a: Seyè a, Bondye ebre yo, te parèt devan nou. Kite n al fe yon ti vwayaj nan dezè a. Lè n'a fin mache pandan twa jou, n'a rete pou n' touye bèt n'ap ofri bay Seyè a, Bondye nou an.
'And they have hearkened to thy voice, and thou hast entered, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye have said unto him, Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, hath met with us; and now, let us go, we pray thee, a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we sacrifice to Jehovah our God.
19 Mwen konnen wa peyi Lejip la p'ap kite nou ale, si yo pa fòse l'.
'And I — I have known that the king of Egypt doth not permit you to go, unless by a strong hand,
20 Se poutèt sa, m'ap lonje men m', m'ap frape peyi Lejip. M'ap fè tout kalite mirak nan peyi a. Apre sa, l'a kite nou ale.
and I have put forth My hand, and have smitten Egypt with all My wonders, which I do in its midst — and afterwards he doth send you away.
21 m'a fè mèvèy jouk tan moun peyi Lejip yo va aji byen ak pèp mwen an. Konsa, lè n'a pare pou nou pati kite yo, nou p'ap soti san anyen nan men nou.
'And I have given the grace of this people in the eyes of the Egyptians, and it hath come to pass, when ye go, ye go not empty;
22 Chak fanm va mande vwazin li pou yo ba li rad ak bijou an ajan ak bijou an lò. L'a fè menm bagay la ak fanm pèyi Lejip ki rete lakay li yo. Lèfini, n'a mete yo sou pitit gason ak pitit fi nou yo. Konsa, n'a pran tou sa moun peyi Lejip yo genyen.
and [every] woman hath asked from her neighbour, and from her who is sojourning in her house, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and ye have put [them] on your sons and on your daughters, and have spoiled the Egyptians.'
